Maple walnut old fashioned
Mike P.

On Swann consistently came up as a top restaurant choice in all the social media posts I've seen so we finally made it here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is charming and upbeat with indoor and outdoor seating. We had a reservation and were seating promptly. Our server Kristin was very friendly, attentive and did a fantastic job. The cocktails were great. We ordered the saffron arancini and it was very good. For dinner we had the scallops with Brussel sprouts and the steak frites, the presentation was amazing and both were delicious. One of the managers Jesus stopped by several times to check on us and was very friendly. Overall this was an excellent experience and we will definitely be returning soon.

Pork Chop

Yum!!!! We had a reservation for 2 for a date night and it was the perfect spot. The tables are maybe a bit closer than preferred but besides that it was so fun! Staff was extremely friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations. The drinks were crisp, pork chop was tender, and scallops were perfectly cooked with the best base. Overall, amazing experience and would definitely come back!

On Swann is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. The only thing I dislike about this restaurant is how loud it gets but everything else is wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. We did a girl dinner and tried a ton of appetizers that we all split and literally everything was amazing. The waiter was great, he was very attentive and super knowledgeable about the menu. Overall it was a great meal!

Steak Frites
Amanda B.

The steak frites were delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly with great flavor! We were able to swap a deconstructed Caesar as our side and the dressing was amazing. The chef was able to modify everything to be celiac safe. My only complaint was that the fries weren't hot when they arrived. Overall, a great meal and it was the perfect size to split with a friend. I'd definitely consider ordering it again!

Arancini

We had a reservation, but arrived 30 minutes early and were still able to sit. Our server quickly brought us water and took our order. Friends warned me it would be very loud, which it was, but knowing this ahead of time helped. Brunch was so nice and the decor is so stylish. My boyfriend joked that the customers were all women, so it's definitely a great place to go with your girls.

I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. On Swann offers interior and exterior sitting, just be careful of the no-see-ums, when sitting outside. Connor was my waiter and he was friendly and attentive. Check on my table frequently and knew the menu well as he recommended a few options. I really enjoyed the spring salad and added blackened chicken. For the entree, I tried the chicken sandwich that was delicious and love the fries. I highly recommend On Swann!

Came back here again but for Mother's Day brunch. We had an amazing visit as usual. However I was super bummed that the menu no longer offers the fried green tomatoes, as those were my favorite here. This time I ordered the smoked Salmon and it was delicious. I had a few bites of the cinnamon roll, which was still amazing. I looked over at my dad's plate which was the short rib hash, and it did not look that great. It was very minimal looking. I tried the famous kale salad and it was bland. My bf ordered the chicken and waffles and was disappointed with the chicken. It was kind of dry and he would have preferred an actual fried peice of chicken instead of tenders. I would still come back here but maybe for dinner next time instead.

A calm restaurant, I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, my friend a steak. We went for a birthday brunch as the staff was so kind! It was also not super crowded, which I enjoyed.

Truffle fries

My friends and I went to here and had a great experience! Apps and drinks were so great and vibes were a 10/10

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time! It's one of those restaurants you would think is overpriced and underwhelming but I didn't feel that way at all. The ambiance is perfect, especially for date nights. Modern and classy feeling, perfect for the South Tampa vibe. Everything I had was delicious especially the Steak Frittes, although I do think the steak could have been a tad larger. The fries were crispy though and I loved dipping them in my burrata appetizer. Brussel Sprouts were 10/10 and went well with the spicy margarita! For sure worth a visit, highly recommend.

Short rib hash
Gab G.

Made a reservation for midday on a Sunday. My boyfriend and I shared the kale salad, which was amazing, and the short rib hash. Great brunch spot!

Thyme after thyme: gin, Asian pear, honey, thyme and rosemary, Madagascar vanilla, lemon. Omg, soo good!!

Another stellar nite of eats at On Swann. We came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. Our server Priscilla helped guide us through the menu with her recommendations. She was awesome, loved her energy. Side note: their menu changes according to the seasons. We had the opportunity to try the Fall menu. My faves were Zeppole with the amazing dipping sauces, Kale Salad, Lamb meatballs with the melt in mouth grits, Arancini balls (wow) and of course the dessert board ( we went for Bread pudding,decadent chocolate cake and cobbler). My friend raved about the chicken but it was too sweet for me. There was nothing "hot" about the chicken. Empanadas were lost on us, was lacking texture. Lastly the hummus, i didn't like this at all. I did not like the braised lamb hummus, something was off. Too acidic. A few hiccups but overall it was a fantastic nite surrounded by friends and amazing food.

My son and I first came here for a "one last great meal before leaving Tampa" and it was certainly a good decision. Love how lively and comfortable the dining room is... white and soft moss colors with plenty of light and busy, yet simple decor. Open ceiling exposing all the overhead pipes (water, fire, AC ducts and lighting) give it that industrial hint but somehow still feels a bit country-ish with their distressed, communal teal tables. We started off with an order of their MUSSELS to share (green curry coconut milk and coriander served with delicious garlic toast). Move over Pepsi, On Swann makes Craft Sodas and we tried a couple of them. I had a WATERMELON soda (think it had ginger beer in it) and my son had a HONEY ORANGE soda. My son loved his BLT SANDWICH... heirloom tomatoes, smoked bacon, frisée, seasoned mayonnaise on challah bread. He said the bread made the sandwich special. I went with the SPICY BUTTERMILK CHICKEN SANDWICH (with celery root slaw, honey butter and dill pickles on a brioche bun). Although I thought it was too big a bun for the chicken size it was still a delicious balance of flavors. Overall, ON SWANN is ON POINT !

Talk about a hidden gem! This speakeasy is SO cool!…read more The drinks were delicious, and the presentation was a solid 10/10. Every drink felt like an experience, and the atmosphere was such a vibe. But what really blew me away, and what I absolutely was NOT expecting, were the chicken wings! They were seriously so good. I came for the drinks and left thinking about the wings! Such a fun spot to hang out, enjoy creative cocktails, and meet some awesome tiki people. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

Hands down THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TIKI BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!…read more Ive been a lot of places and been to a lot of bars. I find tiki bars to be the funnest theme of bars. Morgan's Cove is the king of all tiki bars. Its so cool, the entrance to the bar is speakeasy style hidden door. Once you walk in its mind blowing how much detail is put into this place. The theme is sea monsters. The walls have carvings of sea monsters. Theres a leviathan hanging above the bar. Theres a really cool handmade pirate ship in a glass case by the bar. Its all so badass and so well done...just a beautiful bar. Chefs kiss. The drinks are amazing too. I went for a rum event. I had 2 different drinks and tasted all of my friend's drinks. All very delicious and hard hitting. Everyone there was super nice. The crowd the staff, theyre all so nice. I would fly out here just to visit this bar again. I highly highly recommend Morgan's Cove!!!

We arrived in Tampa early for the Lightning hockey game and an acquaintance recommended this place…read morefor supper. We arrived about 4:15pm and the place was already packed with revelers (a good sign). We squeezed in just in time, as they had a lone table available for us! We ordered a 10 count of wings, served "Dave's" way, a Cubano and a Philly sandwich (to split and share the sandwiches to try them both out). One sandwich came with fries and the other pasta salad. Cold beers arrived quickly, and it was a nice bonus that happy hour was taking place. The food was actually quite delicious and came out hot and ready. I enjoyed BOTH sandwiches, but if I HAD to chose only one next time I would have to go with the Philly! It was very flavorful, with the meat was so tender and the whole thing just melting in my mouth. I would go out of my way just for that sandwich again - BURP! The chicken wings were perfectly done and I liked "Dave's" way of doing business. I'd get those again, albeit I would be tempted to also try some of the other seasoning/sauces. The fries were really good as well. I did not taste the pasta salad, as I was too full, so my partner was on his own. The place is loud, so don't expect a romantic low-toned conversation. Just saying. It's is a sports bar after all, and a very popular one at that. When we left there was a line out the door of folks waiting to get in (another good sign). As for the service - we had great service by our waitress. She was a busy bee too, bouncing from table to table. We did not experience, or witness, any "rude" behavior on the part of the staff as several reviewers claim they did.

Stiff drinks, mediocre service and a smelly atmosphere. What more could you ask for from Downtown…read moreTampa's iconic dive bar? It's perfect. Local bands, loud mouths, random strangers leaving drawings on napkins, and oh, the best graffiti a bathroom stall in all of Tampa could ask for! Don't miss this joint like the iconic stuffed opossum for yesteryear.

WARNING: This bar practices favoritism and targets newcomers…read more My friend and I are teetotalers, and we went there for their karaoke night a couple of days ago. Keep in mind, it was just two people: me and my friend. It was our first time there, and the bar was full of people for karaoke night. The vibe was great, but the service was rude. They only show gratitude to paying and regular guests. About an hour into the event, I went up to the bar and simply asked for a water. The bartender told me that I had to buy a bottle and that it was cash only. I said, "Okay, never mind." That wasn't the problem. I understand that they are running a bar and trying to make money. Every type of bar does that. The problem was that the bartender came over to my friend at our table after that exchange and rudely told us that we needed to buy something or leave. That completely ruined the experience for us, especially since it was our first time there. So, we left. We know when we're not welcomed, and this bar did not make us feel welcome. It wasn't the price or the drinks that were the problem. It was the fact that the bar was full of guests purchasing drinks, and many of the guests coming in were groups of five or more. Yet they chose to target two quiet guests, even before the event, and told us that if we were non-paying guests, they would "kick us out" at least an hour into the event. We didn't come there to cause any harm or start any trouble, and we're not bums off the street. We came to have some safe fun and sing a few songs--nothing more, nothing less. If everything had worked out well, we could have come back and purchased drinks next time and even spread the word about how great the bar was. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Be warned: This bar practices favoritism and looks down on non-paying guests. They completely ruined the vibe that night. If you're new to the area, I would think twice before coming here.
